ELYRIA, Ohio – July 1, 2021 – Bendix announces the release of its powerful fifth- generation SafetyDirect Processor (SDP5™ Full) on the Volvo VNL, VNR, and VHD models from Volvo Trucks North America.
The SDP5 Full processor – delivering new capabilities for the online SafetyDirect platform by Bendix – enables not previously available features, including a digital video recorder (DVR) that continuously records up to 145 hours of streaming video from Bendix’s forward-facing camera, a new high-definition color driver-facing camera, and an internal battery backup to help prevent data loss.
Using a more powerful processor and software, the SDP5 Full technology is the latest step in the evolution of the SafetyDirect system technology roadmap aimed at offering fleets more valuable information and options to enhance vehicle, driver, and roadway safety.

In late 2020, Volvo Trucks released the SDP5™ Base processor on its Volvo VNL, VNR, and VHD vehicles, with Wi-Fi connectivity and a DVR with lower storage capacity. The SDP5 Base processor remains a factory-installed option with the introduction of the SDP5 Full option.
